I really enjoyed the experience. The pixel art looks great, especially the little portraits. The submarine felt a bit dead (not enough sound effects), but the depths had a great atmosphere. The end took me by surprise. Are there multiple endings?
Very moody and nice to look at! Enjoyed the music too!
I found the whole intro very very slow. Maybe the game was running slowly on my machine/ a bug prevented me from skipping past narration once I had read it? If not, it might be good to revisit how long narration stays on screen or how players can progress through it!
Thank you for the feedback and comment @mechamew :)
Thanks for the feedback @citsua! Didn't have time to add another ending unfortunately
I enjoyed the look and feel of your game! I usually do not have the patience for this kind of game, but I kinda liked this one.
This is a great little game! Perfectly made for this jam. The atmosphere and mood of the game is really well done. The pixelart fits perfectly. I really like the introduction in the submarine especially while it is getting darker and darker.
Nice game. I played until the end, and was surprised about the ending (no spoiler here). You did a very good job. Would play again with multiple endings or continuing story ; )
We're glad you enjoyed the game! @tankou
Very atmospheric
Music and mood is awesome. Loneliness, nervous but also tranquility. Storytelling is great too! those character painting looks really cute, adding much warmth to the heavy story. Looking forward to further stories about the ending. Wish that old man could get better things happening to him..
Awesome game. Wasn't obvious that i can skip dialogs at first, it got me a little unpatient and i almost left it unplayed
I really enjoyed this! As others said atmosphere and mood were on spot. Really liked the Characters, who became so human even with these super short interactions. The outside part could have been a little more diverse, but that's just taste. Great entry! :)
This felt like more of a short story than a game, but it was an amazing one. I felt like i really got to know the characters and it was just like I was in that submarine. Great atmosphere and mood! My only criticism is that the interactions felt too slow. Great experience!
Really immersive. Good storytelling. Well fitting music. Enjoyed it. :)
Very nice style and mood, you managed to evoke a lot of context in a few snippets of dialogue. Makes me wish there was a bit more gameplay!
This was something else ! The narration and atmosphere were very well done and i really got a feeling of dread in the end (not gonna spoil too much)
As it been said many times, it just feels a bit slow at some points but i think this may have been intentional to get into the slowness of our character ? I don't know maybe i'm just overthinking it haha
Great job !
I like the artstyle and the storytelling elements of the game. The music is calm and chill with fits with the game. The dialogue was nice. The game looks polished in terms of graphics.
The intro is too long, maybe shorten it a little. The audio was cracking but I don't know the cause As many people said before, in the exploration part of the game, it was too slow.
Overall I think this is a good game -WitekWitek
The art, story, sound and light are just amazing in this game. Loved every aspect of it because it is very immersive. This should be at the top ranked games of this LD's edition. The ending made me reflexive. Thanks for the experience!
What an absolutely lovely little adventure, you guys nailed the mood perfectly, it gives off the same strange vibe that To The Moon gave me when i first played it, if this was a full blown game I could truly see it reaching that level, the story is super simple and short, but it's effective and touching in a way. And the underwater atmosphere was just the best, really felt in deep waters there, somewhat claustrophobic even at times. I won't really comment on gameplay because this was clearly a story focused game, it would be like complaining about the lack of "mechanics" in something like Gone Home, but the 2 details i liked the most was being able to control that tiny little light beam, and the pace fit the game perfectly, i see some people saying it's too slow and to some degree i can see why, but honestly, for me, it just had to be that slow, i think you nailed the speed of the game tbh. A great short experience, very well done!
The mood was great, I was definitely filled with dread. However I felt the intro took a very long time and speech could be sped up.
Super moody and atmospheric! I love it. This could be a great longer game!
